What is 初级护理?

Primary care is the care a patient receives at his or her first contact with the Healthcare System, as well as the continuing, comprehensive and preventive care a patient and/or family receives over time. This type of care is not limited to age, gender or specific medical issue. Primary care may also include:

  • Health promotion
  • Health maintenance
  • Patient education
  • 儿科
  • Diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses
  • 咨询
  • Referrals to other healthcare specialists

A primary care physician should be a patient’s first source for diagnoses, prescriptions and lifelong medical guidance. Establishing a relationship with a primary care physician can help each family member maintain his or her health and peace of mind for a lifetime.
